RE: Mary Elgy BOWESOK, but the death dates are so far off. On the headstone it says Mary J died 8 Oct 1886 and on the Mary Elgy Bowes you have it as 1 Dec 1888.Which is right? I think the headstone is right. Where did you get the other date and are you sure these are the same people?Jerry

RE: CONFUSEDI sent the Mary Elgy back to you and then got it back. Now I am really confused. You told me to send it back to you and I did.How do I get her off of William's memorial as a wife? I can not find a way or I am just overlooking it?Do you want Mary Elgy Bowes so you can do something with her?Jerry Coffmangrouchy58@yahoo.com

Emma Schall VassYou have the death date of Emma Schall Vass, buried in Ashland, Iowa, as 30 May 1887 which is actually her birth date. Do you have her death date? Hope you are well and still active in doing your findagrave. Yours, Kara

Mary Charlotte Penn AndersonWhere did your information come from that lists Rebecca Mattheus as the mother of Mary Charlotte Penn, buried in Ottumwa Cemetery? The mother was Rebecca Houston, married to Henry Oliver Penn. The last census where she shows up is 1905 in Eldon, IA where she is listed living with her husband & also daughter Mary Charlotte & her husband, Edgar Downey. Have not been able to find what happened to Rebecca Houston Penn after 1905.
